My lips are shakin' my nails are bit off Been a month since I've even heard myself talk Only advantage this life's got on me Picture empty cup in the middle of the sea And I fought back in my mind Never lets me be right, I got memories, I got shit So don't you go and show it Oh, I walked the line, when you held me in at night Oh, I walked the line, when you held my hand at night On empty shells seem so easy to crack Got all these questions Don't know who I could even ask So I'll just lie, and wait for the dream Where I'm not ugly as you're lookin' at me And I sent you to bed Oh, in a little while I'll see now If just once I found true love Oh, I'd say it like I mean it But I walked the line When you held me in at night Oh, I walked the line When you held my hand at night Oh, I walked the line When you held me close at night I paid the price Never held you in real life My lips are shakin'.
